Having spent a whole lot of time weeding, I have a special love for a good weeding tool, and this is most definitely that, with the pleasure of holding and using it a nice offset to the endlessness of weeding! It has worked hard, having acquired a wonderfully strong patina of green from the weeds (this is an especially good one for dandelions, and I'll bet that is mostly dandelion greens green) but with many years of good use left in it. Plus what a super satisfying object just as a thing, a pleasure to have and to hold whether one weeds or not. 

9 7/8 x 2 1/2 d and in good, sturdy and sound condition, with lots of use left in it.
